Chapter 161 Don't bully honest people
It is the middle of winter in the capital, and the north wind is howling and the weather is so cold that people can't stand it.
But before dawn, the second uncle got off from the kitchen.
Since his nephew Liangchen introduced him to the East Palace, he returned to the stove to Queen Li, the second uncle should have done a good job, because he can also manage people, and Han Jinyi, who helped the stove, was under his control.
Although Wei Chao always picks up some problems with his second uncle and wears him with small shoes, such as his monthly money is always less than others or is late, no matter what, Empress Li personally greets Eunuch Wang An, and even if he hears that the old boy's nephew calls the emperor to order it and let it go to Jiangnan as a guard, Wei Chao dares not do anything.
The second uncle is also honest. As long as the Wei Dynasty is not too much, he ignores some trivial matters and does not get angry. Therefore, it is considered peaceful in the East Palace these few months.
It took half an hour to raise the fire on the stove, but the second uncle got up early. It was not that he couldn't sleep, but he was thinking about asking the school brother to study early.
After getting on the kang, the second uncle took a few bites of the cake left over from last night, took the teapot on the stove, poured a bowl of hot water and drank a few sips, and then took a photo of Han Jinyi who lives in the same kang: "Old Han, look at it, I'll call the school brother."
"Yeah, where."
Han Jinyi responded in a daze.
The second uncle smiled and put on the fur coat he bought at a garment shop in Bei'anmen for half a month ago and pushed open the door and went to the school brother. The second uncle is still very relaxed now. When his nephew Liangchen left, he left a piece of silver for him, so compared to the hard days in the past, the second uncle is now considered a rich man.
Once upon a time, the second uncle would definitely bet with people if he had money, and he would not lose to the public. But this time, the second uncle had money but did not gamble anymore. Instead, he used the money to clear the relationship, and wanted to transfer his two brothers back who were still suffering from Shiquan, Sichuan.
What kind of relationship can he find? The East Palace definitely won’t work, so he thought about the old unit’s horse supervision, so he went to ask someone to do business with money.
But there are some things in the palace that can’t be handled with money. At first, the second uncle sent the money, but the other person took it away but was careless and didn’t give any correct words at all. He delayed the second uncle for a month and didn’t have a letter, which made the second uncle very anxious.
After having no choice but to go to the Imperial Horse Supervisor to ask for help, somehow he ran into Eunuch Liu, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. After hearing what his second uncle said, Eunuch Liu called the person in charge of the business and scolded him on the spot, and then personally approved the official documents and sent them to Sichuan, ensuring that the second uncle's two brothers would definitely be transferred back to Beijing before the end of the year.
This made Uncle Er very grateful, so he kowtowed to Duke Liu on the spot.
Duke Liu is also a good man. He praised his second uncle for his loyalty and responsibility, and also asked him to work in the Eastern Palace for a good job. In the next day, if there is a vacancy in the Imperial Horse Supervision, he will make up for one.
When the second uncle heard that he could make up for the gap, he was so moved that he almost cried with his wife Liu Dugong's thigh. However, he left the front foot and Liu Dugong wrote a letter to Jiangnan. Liu Dugong, all because of his nephew's help.
After the two of them returned to Beijing, the second uncle became more at ease and at ease in the East Palace.
Although the young master and Eunuch Wang An thought he could not read and did not let him be his school brother's companion, the school brother was a fan of him, Li Da fool, and he liked to run to the kitchen when he had nothing to do. The old and young people were having fun and were very close.
Wei Chao saw it and thought that this was not enough, but Empress Li turned against this fool Li, and Eunuch Wang said it was not important, so he could only stare at him.
After a while, although the second uncle did not have the title of a big partner, he was almost the same as a big partner.
Half a year ago, the emperor handed over to the East Palace and asked the emperor Changsun to study, and personally arranged two teachers. The young master naturally attached importance to it, so he quickly arranged for the eldest son to study.
The two teachers arranged by the emperor for Changsun were Guo Yu, an editor of the Hanlin Academy. He was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. He was very knowledgeable and known as the "No. 1 scholar in Zhongzhou"; the other was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli. He was first appointed as an editor of the Hanlin Academy and then transferred to Sun Chengzong of Zhongyun, the Eastern Palace.
The place where I studied was Wenhua Hall where I was studying, several miles from the East Palace.
The school brother must get up early every day and walk to Wenhua Palace to study, so the second uncle got up early every day to ask the school brother to get up. Otherwise, the teacher would be unhappy if he went late and the teacher would be angry.
The school brother lives in the warm pavilion next to the bedroom of Empress Li in Chenghua Palace. The younger brother Jianer was taken by Empress Dongli to raise him for a while a month ago.
When the second uncle arrived outside the warm room, he asked the school brother if he had woken up.
The voice of the school brother came from inside: "I've woken up long ago, and I'm waiting for you to dress."
"The old slave comes in and puts clothes on the school brother."
The second uncle smiled and pushed open the door and went in to help the school brother dress. When he was dressing, the school brother asked him: "A big fool, are you still learning Tang poetry today? I can recite dozens of poems."
The second uncle smiled and said, "School brother, didn't Mr. Sun say yesterday that he will not learn poetry today, but read the "Four Books"."
The school brother looked puzzled: "What is the Four Books talking about?"
"The Four Books?"
This was a stump for the second uncle. He didn't know what the Four Books said, but he knew that he must be teaching great principles, so he looked at the School Brother with a kind face and said kindly: "The Four Books talk about the great principles of governing the country. Well, after the School Brother learned it, he will be a good emperor in the future and cure our Ming Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, the school brother was excited for some reason and clapped his hands and said, "Big fool, so, will I really be the emperor in the future and govern the country?"
The second uncle said "hey", secretly glanced out the door, and lowered his voice: "Well, if the school brother is not an emperor, who can be an emperor? If the school brother does not govern the country, who can govern the country."
Unexpectedly, the school brother then pouted and said, "Okay, I won't cure the country first. When I become emperor, I will cure your nephew first."
The second uncle was so amused and laughed: "Good brother, my nephew cannot be cured, he is so well."
"He is not good, not good at all!" The school brother said unhappy.
"Isn't it good yesterday?"
The second uncle didn't know that his nephew made the school brother unhappy yesterday.
"He and"
The school brother looked outside with some guilt and fear, and snorted: "They both of them bullied me together."
"No, no, don't think too much, school brother."
The second uncle can't let the school brother talk nonsense, "Why don't the school brother give me some face to me and don't cure my nephew in the future?"
"Hmph, let's talk about it then. If he dares to be angry, I will treat him as well. Don't say that I didn't give you face at that time." The school brother said seriously.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll tell my nephew to tell him to be honest in front of the school brother." Uncle second grinned and thought to himself that the school brother is really a childish temper.
“It’s almost the same.”
The school brother grinned and let the second uncle help him put on his clothes. The palace servant arranged by Empress Xili from the other side also went to the stove to work hard, and soon brought the breakfast over.
After serving the school brother for breakfast, the second uncle quickly led the school brother out of Chenghua Palace, heading straight to the gate of the East Palace, and then heading straight to Wenhua Palace along the palace road.
When a prince is not allowed to sit in a sedan chair when he is studying, this is the rule set by Taizu, in order to enhance the prince's perseverance in studying, which is also a test.
It's good that day is neither cold nor hot, but in the middle of winter, the prince who was studying was suffering. Uncle Second saw that his school brother's face was red with coldness, and he felt distressed that he quickly put his school brother's little hand around his waist. In this way, the father and the other rushed all the way and finally arrived at Wenhua Palace at the prescribed time.
The wing room where the school brother studied was at the corner of the southeast corner of Wenhua Hall, which was also where my junior studied back then. The difference is that the one who accompanied me to study back then was the second uncle.
After entering the wing room, the second uncle was about to set up the school brother's four treasures in the study, but was stunned.
It was a very cold day, and the stove was not installed in the wing room. It was as cold as an ice cellar. Not to mention children, even adults were very cold inside.
"Why is it so cold?"
The school brother rubbed his hands and sighed. He was only eight years old and didn't know what was going on.
The second uncle frowned and said to the school brother: "Good brother, sit down, I'll bring you a stove." After that, he withdrew from the house and went straight to the eunuch in Wenhua Hall not far away.
There were a few eunuchs in the duty room. After the second uncle opened the door and went in, he bowed to the little eunuchs first, and then smiled and said, "My father-in-law, the study room of the Emperor Changsun is very cold. The old slave came over to get a stove so that the Emperor Changsun would not freeze it."
But those little eunuchs seemed to have not heard Uncle Second, and they sat lazily beside the stove and roasted their hands, without even looking at Uncle Second.
The second uncle had no choice but to say it again. This time he put his posture lower and he was very humble, but these little eunuchs still did not move.
"A few father-in-laws, it's really cold in the room. What if the emperor's Changsun gets sick from freezing?"
No matter how good the second uncle had a good temper, he couldn't help but raise the volume a little. He was not for himself, but for the school brother, and he really couldn't bear to be frozen.
Finally a little eunuch spoke, and he screamed: "Li Da Sisi, what does this mean? Why did Emperor Changsun get sick from freezing?"
The second uncle hurriedly said, "Young father-in-law will know if you go and take a look by yourself? The room is really cold."
The little eunuch sniffed and said slowly: "Eunuch Cui said that it is a good thing for the emperor's eldest grandson to study, and it is the emperor who hopes that the eldest grandson will become a talent and cannot be kept in a greenhouse. It is not a big deal to suffer from some cold."
The second uncle was stunned: "Which Eunuch Cui?"
"Eunuch Cui beside the concubine."
The little eunuch looked at his second uncle in anger and continued to bake his hands.
The second uncle was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and almost begged: "No, the emperor and eldest grandson are young and have not grown up yet, but they can't stand the cold. How many young father-in-laws are good, can they give the old slave a stove?"
"Eunuch Cui is in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy. Emperor Changsun can't bear it and the cold. Isn't it clearer than you, Li Da Si." After saying that, the little eunuch pointed his hand out, "If you have nothing to do, go outside the study. This place is not something you can do."
No matter how good the second uncle is, he is still a person in his forties or fifties. No matter how good his temper is, he can't stand a teenage villain who is domineering. It also concerns the school brother's body. He became anxious at the time and glared at the little eunuch: "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
When the little eunuch saw that Li Da Si's fool actually dared to glare at him, he couldn't help laughing: "Why, you, Li Da Si's fool, dare to beat me?"
"You! You"
